Just call me Betty...

...Betty Crocker that is! Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't like cooking and that I'm an awful cook. Well, for Tom's brithday, I went all out. I think I cooked more in 2 days than I've cooked in 1 year!

Birthday breakfast..

Birthday dinner...

Fondant chocolat...very festive with the candles and umbrellas until..

they went up in smoke...go figure...paper umbrellas and candles = fire

Day after birthday dinner...

Oatmeal Scotchies again (thanks again Leesa!)....

AND...a birthday card from our wonderful President - what a great birthday!!

Thanks Mom and Dad A for alerting President Obama about Tom's birthday! ;-)
